introduction In March 2004, SIGIR formed the Iraq Inspectors General Council (IIGC) 609 to provide a forum for discussion of oversight in Iraq and to enhance collaboration and cooperation among the Inspectors General of the agencies that oversee Iraq reconstruction funds. Representatives of member organizations meet quarterly to exchange details about current and planned audits, identify opportunities for collaboration, and minimize redundancies. The most recent meeting was held on November 14, 2007, at the SIGIR office in Arlington, Virginia. The following organizations attended the meeting: Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) Department of State Office of Inspector General (DoS OIG) U.S. Army Audit Agency (USAAA) U.S. Agency for International Development Office of Inspector General (USAID OIG) Government Accountability Office (GAO) Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) Defense Intelligence Agency Office of the Inspector General Naval Audit Service Army Inspector General (Army IG) Air Force Audit Agency SIGIR Each quarter, SIGIR requests updates from member organizations on their completed, ongoing, and planned oversight activities. This section summarizes the audits and investigations reported to SIGIR this quarter by DoD OIG, DoS OIG, USAID OIG, GAO, and USAAA. For DCAA updates, see Appendix M. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Department of Commerce did not complete or initiate any new audits this quarter. Refurbished water treatment plant.
